Car and Driver's 10Best Cars Through the Decades

It is January again, and we have come to praise and celebrate the best cars, people, and other noteworthy phenomena in our automotive universe. There was an embarrassment of riches from which to choose this year. Far more has gone right in the world of automobiles than has gone wrong. Mr. Reagan hasn’t fixed all that’s bad in the government’s relationship with the Republic’s cars and drivers, but neither has he done anything terrible to us, as did Mr. Nixon (the speed limit) and Mr. Carter (everything else). General Motors has given us a Corvette that not only will run faster than any other American production car in the past decade (150 miles per hour), but will also set records for lateral acceleration ([website] g on the skidpad) and stop just as fast as it goes. GM must share the credit for these splendid achievements with the Goodyear Tire & Rubber Company, but the fact that their collaboration was so successful is just another reason for us to celebrate. Five years ago, there was little to be hopeful about on the automotive scene. Now we’re deluged with wonders and delights. They’re even fixing our roads! FULL 1985 10BEST COVERAGE.

What’s the best way to receive payment when selling your car?

There are few times in our lives where we will we put so much trust in a total stranger than when selling a car.

You’ve written a great ad, taken some amazing photos, and someone has come to look at the car – and agreed to buy. It’s a great feeling, especially if you’re getting an amazing price. The Milky Bars are well and truly on you.

But how should you accept payment – especially when we’re taking potentially tens of thousands of dollars?

In this article, we’ll explore the four safest and most secure methods for accepting payment for a vehicle from a buyer – and a few tips on what not to do.

It’s good buying and selling practice to keep written and signed evidence at every step along the way, especially when any sum of money has been exchanged. Once you’ve struck a deal with a buyer, put the agreement in writing. This helps protect you, and could be as simple as this:

Address: 123 Holden Street, Toranaville VIC 3210.

Description of vehicle: 2017 Holden Commodore SS-V Redline manual sedan (red).

VIN number: ABCD0123456789012 (available on rego papers).

List of inclusions: genuine floor mats, genuine towing kit.

Agreed items to be repaired prior to purchase: chipped windscreen, rear tyres.

Once you’ve got the commitment, you can agree with the buyer on the best way to receive the funds.

Here are the best four options for receiving payment when selling your used car:

The buyer transfers the agreed amount to your account, and then picks up the car once you’ve seen the funds clear into your account.

This takes some trust on the buyer’s part, and they might prefer something else like a bank cheque (below). But if you proceed with a bank transfer, you should never hand over a car before funds have cleared – a common scam is the buyer transfers to you, presents you their phone with their banking app and details of the completed transfer, only to cancel the transfer later before the funds have cleared. When they have your car.

This only works if you and the buyer use the same bank. Meet at a branch and ask the teller to transfer the funds from their accounts to yours, instantly. Done, and with the added safety of a public environment and CCTV cameras.

If you and the buyer have different banks, you could even consider opening an account with the same bank as them to enable this excellent, safe and foolproof option.

Often it’s quick to open an account with a new bank, easily done online, and free. And just as easy to close the account afterwards.

It doesn’t get more instant or clear-cut than cash, however it starts to get somewhat impractical for bigger purchases.

Large sums of cash mean that both you and the buyer will end up going to a bank (them to withdraw, you to deposit later), so you may as well go with them and do the direct transfer as mentioned above – or consider a bank cheque (below).

Doing so also saves the dodgy counting of large sums of cash in a car park somewhere; and then having a huge amount of cash on your person afterwards.

The seller asks the buyer to go to their bank and get a cheque drawn up for the required amount. Cheque and keys are exchanged and the deed is done.

Note that bank cheques, while generally secure, can be cancelled – and it takes up to three days for a bank cheque to clear.

A bank cheque is different from a personal cheque, which can bounce. Don’t accept a personal cheque.

Mansory Cybertruck revealed for people with too much money, not enough taste

Say hello to the Elongation, an even more polarising take on the Tesla Cybertruck, designed by more-money-than-sense Swiss firm Mansory.

Known for gaudy bodykits and interiors on already borderline vehicle designs, Mansory has now turned its attention to the polarising Tesla Cybertruck electric pickup.

The Elongation name is a not-so-subtle reference to Tesla CEO Elon Musk, though the name also invites some other jokes.

Hundreds of new car deals are available through CarExpert right now. Get the experts on your side and score a great deal. Browse now.

Atop the Cybertruck’s relatively simple stainless steel bodywork, Mansory has tacked on significant amounts of carbon-fibre trim, resulting in extended front and rear bumpers, side skirts, and even two miniature wings at the rear of the bed.

The wheels are a significant step up from the standard 20-inch units on the Cybertruck, measuring 26 inches in diameter and 11 inches wide.

Despite the huge size, Mansory indicates they’re lightweight due to their aluminium alloy structure.

If all that didn’t attract enough attention already, there’s also illuminated Mansory badging.

There have also been visual changes inside the cabin, with the Cybertruck’s dull grey and white colour scheme traded for bright white, black and yellow highlights.

Pricing is yet to be revealed, however if Mansory vehicles appeal to you, it’s likely you’ve got the money to spend on it.
